🚨 Quantum computing 💻🖲️ may pose a threat to Bitcoin in the future, as it could accelerate mining using Grover's algorithm or break transaction signatures (ECDSA) with Shor's algorithm, which would allow for 51% attacks or even theft of cryptocurrencies. However, this threat is not immediate, as it will take years or even decades to materialize. The cryptocurrency community is aware of this risk and is already working on solutions, such as post-quantum cryptography, to protect the blockchain system against quantum computing in the future.
